How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
First of all - promote healthy living instead of fast unhealthy foods on every street corners. Change the habits that lead to obesity, smoking, high blood pressure and the like. Use science to cure problems not create customers. Stop depending on China to make our medications. Require big Parma to give back to the people that they make all their money from. Stop merchandising healthcare and work to cure cancers not make money from it. Stop paying billions to counties that hate us and use that money to invest in the prosperity of the American people. Let's judge our economy by our advancement and not by how many billionaires we make. Those who make billions on us should be paying it forward to help the rest of us.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the body of Christ (church), the fellowship of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.

I voted for Ronald Reagan both times.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
Civil servant for over 30 years Joined the United States Marines at age 17 and gained vitally important experience in protecting and defending our nation and our way of life. A member of the Seaman’s International Union as a Merchant Marine Corrections Officer for 32 years - served my fellow employees as a shop steward / Union Rep Experience in negotiating, workplace legalities and labor law, and, most importantly, championing for the people I represented. Working within the Criminal Justice System I have learned and witnessed first hand things that work and things that don't work. I have interacted and spoken with thousands of inmates over the years and heard first hand testimonies as to what happened, why it happened and what works for those who work it. I believe that, that knowledge is paramount in drafting and designing programs for future.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
NO.
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
It is never too late to make a better decision. Our state has been in the control of a single party and has no excuses as to the sad state of affairs that they alone have caused. They have demonstrated that they care more about turning our state into a socialist, government depended society than one who's purpose and pursuit is to its citizens first. The problems we have are caused by the practice of these agenda. Its almost like they are seek to destroy our life and freedoms. If I am elected I will be that voice of and for the people who love our state and country. We do not need to be letting the state pander to sanctuary for criminal and or those that do not wish to see our state prosper.

Repeat the Sex Education Act that was passed in the middle to the night and defend the voter approved initiatives that are not being allowed to become law. Rebuild. Businesses that have lost money and livelihood due to the closure of the state. Recreate the jobs that have died and or will die due to the indebtedness that the closure has caused.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
NO The only racial threat to US is the Main Stream Media narrative that there is. Political Party that is using people of color and demanding their continued support and allegiance to them them are a bigger threat. Being a biracial person - there is not threat coming from us.
